April 2010, and in Sweden three days later. It was one of three promotional singles released before the release of Body Talk Pt. 1 and the official first single, "Dancing on My Own". Composition "Fembot" was written by Robyn and Klas Åhlund, and produced by the latter. It is in the key of D major and a tempo of 123 beats per minute with a "heavy R&B vibe". According to Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone, the song continues the "android theme" previously present on Robyn's track, "Robotboy", the interlude "Bionic Woman" and the Röyksopp collaboration, "The Girl and the Robot" (2009). DJ Ron Slomowicz of About.com compared its musical and lyrical style to that of previous single "Konichiwa Bitches" (2007). According to Jer Fairall of PopMatters, the song utilizes "a spare, beepy two-note synth hook and a squelching electronic rhythm." Robyn's vocals in the song are layered with Auto-Tune and vocoders. During the verses, she adapts her distinctive rapping style, and exclaims lyrical lines such as "I gotta lotta automatic booty applications" and "I'm a very scientifically advanced hot mama." Nate Chinen of The New York Times wrote that Robyn "rap[s] a series of double entendres in a digitally processed purr", and then proclaims her "voguish fixation on androids" in the chorus; "I’ve got some news for you / Fembots have feelings too". According to Lindsey Fortier of Billboard, "Fembot" sees Robyn "get[ting] in touch with her urban side". Reception Michael Gragg of MusicOMH wrote that "Though the lyrics are daft [...] it's exuberance and general sense of fun is so infectious that when the chorus kicks in you barely notice what she's saying." Jer Fairall of PopMatters wrote, "Look no further than the wry chorus hook of “Fembot” for proof of Robyn’s deftly subversive sense of humor." Fairall also pointed out that "[The chorus] might hint, at first, in the direction of some Blade Runner-esque sci-fi pathos, but Robyn turns it towards a canny meta-commentary on the fluid sense of authenticity that pervades 21st century pop stardom." Fairall, however, thought that "the verses are nothing more than an inventory of the titular ‘bot’s synthetic virtues." Ben Norman of About.com selected the song as his favorite track on Body Talk Pt. 1, and wrote that "'Fembot' is the incredibly quirky and well-written Robyn-rap track that needs to be heard to be believed." Christopher Muther of The Boston Globe praised the
